Airlines flying Bangalore to Sharjah
Air Arabia (G9), the UAE's first and largest low-cost carrier, is the primary operator on BLR–SHJ, flying daily non-stops on A320-family aircraft. Air India Express (IX) also operates frequencies on the route with Boeing 737-800. Together they offer roughly 1–2 non-stop departures daily. If timings don't suit, nearby Dubai (DXB) is only 15 km from Sharjah and is served by many more carriers from Bengaluru, including Emirates, IndiGo and Air India. However, flying directly into Sharjah often means lower airport charges reflected in the ticket price.
Cheapest time to fly & book
As of May 2026, indicative one-way fares on Bengaluru–Sharjah open from around ₹8,000–14,000 for off-peak bookings, with round trips roughly ₹16,000–26,000. Fares rise during Eid holidays, Diwali (Indian expats flying home) and December–January. The cheapest stretches are typically the summer months (May–August), when UAE heat reduces tourist demand. Air Arabia's low-cost model keeps base fares competitive year-round, but add-ons for baggage and meals can add up. Indicative only — live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
Flight duration & routing
The non-stop Bengaluru → Sharjah flight takes about 3h 50m over roughly 2,700 km, heading north-west across the Arabian Sea. Sharjah is 1h 30m behind India (the UAE stays on UTC+4 year-round). A morning departure from Bengaluru lands you in Sharjah by late morning local time, with Sharjah, Dubai and Ajman all within easy reach. The short sector means a light snack at most (buy-on-board on Air Arabia). Sharjah is a practical arrival point for anyone staying in northern Dubai, Ajman or Sharjah itself.
Baggage & fares
Air Arabia is a low-cost carrier, so the base fare often excludes checked baggage. You can add 20–40 kg checked in increments during booking at discounted rates. Cabin allowance is 10 kg (including one personal item), which is slightly more generous than some LCCs. Meals, seat selection and priority boarding are all paid add-ons. Air India Express includes 15–20 kg checked on most fare buckets. When comparing Air Arabia fares with full-service alternatives into Dubai, factor in the cost of baggage add-ons. Pre-booking everything online is always cheaper than at the airport.
Airports & terminals
Bengaluru (BLR) — international flights depart from Terminal 2, about 35 km north of the city. Sharjah (SHJ) — Sharjah International Airport has a single passenger terminal about 14 km east of the city centre. The airport is compact and efficient, with shorter immigration queues than Dubai's massive DXB. Getting to Sharjah city, Dubai or Ajman is straightforward — taxis and ride-hailing (Careem, Uber) are available outside arrivals. Dubai city centre is about 15–20 km (30–40 minutes) from SHJ by road, traffic depending.
Visa & entry for Indians
Indian passport holders need a UAE visa before travel. The UAE tourist eVisa (30 days) costs around AED 400 (≈ ₹8,900) and is processed in 2–4 working days. Indians with a valid US, UK or Schengen visa (or a US Green Card / EU or UK residence permit) can obtain a 14-day visa on arrival at UAE airports for USD 63. A Sharjah visa and a Dubai visa are the same UAE visa — no separate visa is needed. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months' validity. Full guidance in the Visas guide.
